most buffalo take i have seen in a long time

thompson is not a center. never has been. there is reason we play better when he is on wing.

Murray is slow and he does not hit or fight.

Byrum all day. Power is too low energy a player. Has shown regression in dzone. Tyler myers equivalent. These early long term contracts were always a mistake.

Seth Appert has won nothing at any level. He will continue to be a loser in Buffalo. Promoting Appert and giving a two-year contract to Ruff was the biggest indication this was not serious. Adams wants no threats around. Any competent head coach would not want to work with Adams unless they are given roster control. We all know Ruff is at his best, a league average coach. At this point he is below league average. I would rather have a coach who has a history of winning at lower levels. That type of coach will push harder on the little things that will make you a good team. No we don't. Opinions are welcome, this is a message board, but your case is not made by stating an opinion is a 'well known fact'. He MAY be a league average coach. He may be above average. He may be below average, but it is not a 'well known fact', on this forum for one and by listening to interviews from people outside of Buffalo even around the league.

Tage Thompson is not a great hockey player... Not good enough for 4 nations team.

you do not even need to clear the crease as they now call that, but you do need to work hard to get in the right position to prevent the easy tips and open far side goals. He shows no interest in improving that. Does not work hard at all in dzone. He is still as physically weak as his rookie year. His teammates need to hold him accountable, or he will never change. That room of losers will never do that though. He should not be on power play in absence of Dahlin either. SB Byrum all day.

they were and continued to be mediocre. Bogosian was 5 or 6th on Tampa team that was dead against the cap and he played for minimum. He was still mediocre. Hall is not a game changer. Played for 6 teams now. mediocre. More likely they were not players we thought they were. Rest of league agrees...

both of them continued to be mediocre after leaving. was their plan to play poorly and then turn it up on a different team? They continued to be mediocre.

his ceiling is 5th dman. more likely in out of lineup guy.

OK, texted with guy in NHL, he said it was important a couple of years ago when localities started complaining players were not playing and the league sent out a memo. It affects the highest paid players who will be tracked as it is a lot of money. Up to individual players though and tracking who was on the roster and played that game is a lot of work. He said he does not pay the taxes as he is a lower tier player, and the amounts are so low that it will cost more to go after him. As far as spending the week in Cali, he can't imagine a player paying for all those days in taxes instead of just the three game days. Also said it is absolutely a part of a players signing to account for taxes and cost of living. Again, the lower mid-tier type guys.

because it has a massive effect on where people sign contracts. Can save ten millionish on a 100 million dollar contract if you sign in florida, Washington or Nashville due to state taxes. does anyone know the exact rules on this? i am asking someone who will know, but he is not always responsive.

ryan johnson is not a player other teams want. kyle clague future in the league

have not done that in years. if you dont put your skates in the right place, try to pick stick up early, try to anticipate the drop. it is pretty easy to know why when someone is booted most of the time. typically linesman will warn a player to stop it and if they dont they will get tossed and have a tough rest of game.

that was very honest what he said. when it is the standard answers that is to be ignored.

dumbest thing you will read on the internet today. Just absurd

lol, if I wanted to see people clueless about hockey make comments I come to this board.

Take care of it now. I waited for years to get shoulder surgery. So dumb. within 6 months I was so much better. I am able sleep on either side with no pain LOL. Imagine recovery from finger is way quicker and less involved.

feels much better when popped back in. Did it to ring finger playing bbal and guy there just yanked it. Dull pain then instead of 10 out of 10 pain.

did not renew espn plus so not able to see games. What is PP1 personnel? The big guy in front of the net does not work. with the ozone being so big the emphasis is on blocking shots not being physical in front. Watch all the good power plays, puck enters zone quick and is moved around. Players are in motion and looking to get open.

did not renew Espn+ this year so I am not subjecting my wife to my frustrations. Ruff on a two-year contract leaves Adams in complete control. Our top 6 is just not good enough. There is not a number one or even number two center on the team. Cozens and Thomas are both best as wingers. Don't think we have a playoff caliber goalie on the roster., and certainly not a win a round in the playoff's goalie. Let's go Bills

yes he is better by a great deal. silly to suggest otherwise

if you read the report, bowman was the only one who acted properly. He informed his superior who was president of team who told him they were handling it. When he followed up, was told again it was being handled and finally was told it was taken care of. In the report he was also the only participant called out for telling the truth. Quenville was caught lying multiple times. Proven by the team owned phone that showed texts he denied sending. He then wrote the guy a recommendation. The president of team who ran the response was fired previously and did not cooperate. They should not been treated equally. Quenville sb done forever.

bunch of ifs right. If we do nothing else we need a lot of players to take steps forward. Cozens needs to be a good center. thompsons deficiencies as a center were partially due to skinner and he is better at the position than he has shown. Quinn needs a big year etc..

why ignore someone who makes me laugh multiple times a day
